RISE
Khoisan Jan 2020
Ghostly shadows on your mind
will make your brain go insane

angels cry as demons bluff
Your conscience ain't... satan's cuffs

Live
take your time
dumping demons ain't no crime

Love
just like the sun

high-above

fall on your knees
rise like a dove

Jews-over- gentiles
followed by
Fool's gold and Blood-diamond

The-rainbow-got-it-right

A point to ponder
There are no black or white present in the colours of the rainbow

Acceptance
Khoisan Mar 2022
When no one cared
and
listening became mime
Acceptance
never cast a stone
therefore
the
prodigal's roots
were
his only way home.
Home is where the heart is

No Surrender!!!
Khoisan Nov 20
Another kiss on the cheek
like a bus it hit me
there is a first time
and a last time
for everything
blood lips after skin
with newfangled revenge
from the age of once to heaven
in a space
where winter gathers momentum
a man such as I
seeks a clean slate
for your kissered-become
are colder than pain
at a point far beyond zero
my heart must melt the blizzard
as my Love for you
muster upward
counting the years
your tears
my rain.
Then heaven I shall enter
albeit waiting on you
are solely in vain.

A dreamcatchers feather.
Khoisan May 2022
Don't lose your mind
even the best road
break sometime
open your eyes
to nightmarish
weather
touch the dewdrops on a
dreamcatchers feather
let the heartbreak bind
stroke your soul
give yourself a hug
and love your mind.

I  
am a feeble man
with
hapless thoughts
I
face my gravestone
THINKING
of
dead poets
their words are restless
and
forever out there
seeking
those in need.
There
in
silence
in the still of the sight
I RiP.

Fog lamps the mirror.

fog lamps the mirror

carries
the
healing
of
what
ultimately goes down.

All or nothing
Khoisan Aug 2020
I touch your skin
with my mouth
I inhale your soul,
your essence is the heart
of the morning breeze
upon my lips
I am set alight
burning after your horizon
my petals pulsate
until I slump inside your chest
I am the sunflower
you are my fire
I follow you like mist
meets the sun
with me
it's all or nothing.
For the way it should be

Second chances
Khoisan Jun 2018
Many are the vagrants who roam
The streets of my mind
They knock on the ceiling of my scull
As I ponder their plight
Restlessly climbing into my human emotions
Taring at the twines that bind us together
As they mercifully hold on to the strings
Frantically crying out
Please forgive us... forgive us
And I did
We all make mistakes and sometimes craves forgiveness

Who knows what the difference would have been if only the father could have been where he should have been

Savouring the rainy day
Khoisan Jan 2020
On that particular sunny day
I looked in the mirror
and saw a rainy day
embracing the silver lining
behind me stood the love
I had saved up for
touching my hair
and gently stroking the grey
Her love outshines the grey

Wrong crowd empty cup
she dipped her toes
in the wrong throes
tumbling like a lost kite
head-spinning
blinded by the height,
the eyes have vision
but this naive girl
had compromised her sight,
abandoned and disgraced
catching the twenty-two
in-between
a rock and a hard place.
Unseal your own drinks
pour your own cups
and scrutinize all meals
you have the right
to be careful.

Time and tide ?
Khoisan Jun 2018
Tick...tock...tick...tock
Am I afraid
Of course I am
Back and forth
The pendulum swings both ways
Expertly filleting the youth from my flesh
Shredding my lightbrowns
And replacing it with a nice
Even spread of pepper
While gently etching creases
Into my face
Timeously chopping into my bones
As the belly fat weighs me down
Then suddenly hitting the back
So picking up the heavy's a big no.no
And finally slicing into the mind
Where confusion strikes
And the car keys is missing....again
Sorry have to go now
My next birthday party's comming up
Call it what you want (catch 22) or(caught between a rock and a hard place)let's do it gracefully
